So, you're basically questioning the existence of this forum. I suppose you'll have to ask Chris about that, but I think it's to report repeat offenders/extreme cases (like the one who just was kicked out), spammers, etc. that may otherwise slip through the system.

We're not talking about plagiarization, or an article author here.

If asking programming questions in the General Indian Topics Forum repeatedly and telling off people who suggested it's not appropriate counts as contributing, then yes. I'm not going to go into the details, but if you've not been participating regularly in the GIT, then you may not have the full context here.

I'd probably agree with you if I didn't have the context (as said above), but I still do agree with you that Chris might reinstate the account if the OP asked him politely and was apologetic about their behaviour and past offences.

No, not at all.
The problem is I see too many people who think they own CodeProject and come here and try to get people kicked off for doing one little thing wrong. Too many people abuse this forum.

And you don't think the same common sense can be extended to someone who offended you?

I don't know about all of that - I came here today, and only did so because I was "mentioned" on one of the posts here, which sent me a notification.

I'm struggling to see your point here, given that I have little control over what someone else might find as offensive or decide to report. As stated in another post, I basically laughed off the abusive posts because I found it hilarious that the OP had no point to make and resorted to personal attacks.

Did you ask yourself at least once, why this specific member got reported out of 13,677,764 members?
011111100010 wrote: Too many people abuse this forum
Can you please show me at least 5 such members? I'd be more than happy to make efforts to prevent it (probably by discussing with Admins).
If it would have been a heated discussion, i might have reported the message and moved on. If "clearly" calling someone M** F** and justifying it till the end is what you call an acceptable behavior (report message and move on), i don't think there is any point in stretching this thread.

A bit strange to claim something on those lines, given that I never even complained about it (not even to the OP who was abusive) and basically laughed it off.
Other users of the forum (I see more than one) found it so offensive that they came here and reported it. I also believe that a significant number of votes will be needed to get someone's account terminated, and so those many people had had enough of the OP. This hardly counts as me getting "what I wanted".
I'd want a yacht, sailing on smooth turquoise seas. With nymphos. In a soapy Jacuzzi. That would be a lot closer to what I "want".

Good point. I lost who I was communicating with. My mistake.
Rajesh R Subramanian wrote: Other users of the forum (I see more than one) found it so offensive
Nope. They are looking for points. They get 10 points (I think) for reporting a member. It happens all the time. People come in and see a member reported, they then report the member without even doing their own research to verify validity.
The Spam and ABUSE forum is ironically named.

Fair enough, then. Whom should I talk to about the yacht? The man still has his needs, ya know?

Agreed. But asking a community to gang up on someone and kick them out because they hurt your feelings is also abuse. Just saying.

Since when reporting something abusive here became "gang up on someone"?

Because all you had to do was mark that one message as abusive. Instead, you came to a forum meant for ending people's CP careers. I think you know what you were doing.
Thanks7872 wrote: Not at all. It didn't.
Then report the message and move on, like I already said.

People's CP careers end also because they post tens of thousands of ads, post plagiarized articles. Should we also start reporting the content only and move on? CP Career ends for those who forget that this is public platform and not their personal playground. Looks like you're getting emotional here..!!!

I personally think it is. I would leave it for others to decide.
Re: Plot to kill Modi: Nation wide raids reveal huge naxal-urban naxal conspiracy
Response from @RajeshRSubramanian to the said post has quoted text from unedited version. Second one is a NSFW abuse in Hindi.
The post I have linked states
You have all the features of Hindu atankwadi
Here atankwadi is Hindi word for terrorist.
As I said before, it is up to community to decide. OP has been around for a while to know how to behave at CP.

I am not picking on one guy. I just read thread and found this one post out of line. Like I said, up to community.

Yes some strong language there, but a bit like a SoapBox thread. And Rajesh is more than capable of answering such posts in a calm manner, which should help close it down.
